A total of 281 individuals were used to construct regional descriptions of D. kingianum and 139 individuals were measured for 19 morphological characters, and similarities and differences among specimens summarised using multivariate statistical methods. Patterns of morphological variation within D. kingianum are consistent with a single variable species that expresses clinal variation, with short-growing plants in the south and taller plants in the northern part of the distribution. The nrITS gene tree suggests two subgroups within D. kingianum subsp. kingianum, one comprising northern, the other southern individuals, which may overlap in the vicinity of Dorrigo, New South Wales.

While most people admire them for their good looks, others have found practical uses for them. Since a long time ago, people from various parts of the world have used orchids for medicinal purposes. However, the use of orchids in medicine has declined over the years because not enough research has been done to determine their effectiveness and adverse effects.

In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. ,e nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. ,e success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids.

However whether, and to what extent, the very substantial taxonomic restructure presented in the book is accepted by the professional botanical community, only time will tell. In the meantime, while many orchid growers will enthusiastically embrace these new taxonomies, many others will exercise their valid right to continue labelling their orchids using the older taxa, waiting for the dust to settle on the scientific debate. In either regard there are difficulties for users of Jones's book, in their attempt to relate many of these new taxa to older species descriptors. The individual species entries in the text provide no prior taxonomic information whatever; and the index is of limited assistance, and far from complete regarding taxonomic descriptors commonly used over the past decade or so.

Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 21 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration.

  • ORCHID POLLINATION ECOLOGY Orchid Pollination Exploring a Fascinating World by Ron Mchatton
    ORCHID POLLINATION ECOLOGY Orchid Pollination Exploring a Fascinating World BY RON MCHATTON [1] The first example of sexual deception in Australian orchids involved the genus Cryptostylis. These orchids are pollinated by male parasitic wasps of the genus Lissopimpla. Here four male Lissopimpla excelsa wasps compete for the favors of a Cryptostylis erecta flower. MARK CLEMENTS [2] Silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus) pollinating a small purple fringed orchid (Platanthera psycodes) at Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina. The long spurs of the orchid have nectar at their ends and the skipper must push its proboscis deep into the spur to get to the nectar. Note the pollinia attached to the base of JAMES PETRANKA JAMES the skipper’s proboscis. bumblebee species. In this case, pollinia of Den. infundibulum are placed on the head of the bee while that from the Cymbidium, with much longer column, becomes at- tached to the bee’s central thorax. Because the column of the former species is much shorter, only pollinia placed near the front of the bee will be in a position to contact the stigmatic surface of the Dendrobium column as the bee exits the flower (Du Puy and Cribb 2007). Orchids with large gullet flowers such as Cymbidium are typically pollinated by large carpenter bees and bumblebees are known to pollinate Spiranthes and are implicated in the pollination of northern NT NT U U and some high-elevation species where other large bees are less common or active. 3 4 ERIC H ERIC H Some bees gather oils from flowers rather than nectar or pollen and many orchids [3–4] Sobralia [3] and Cattleya [4], two gen- NO ONE IS REALLY SURE HOW LONG have evolved to attract these pollinators.
